frivolous princess

Chapter 214

Just when Shangguan Miaoge stepped out of Yunyuan, in the side room of the front hall, all the people from the third room had already arrived.The master, lady, wife and aunts all gathered together with their close ones, talking softly, but all of them were in high spirits.The old lady sat and twirled the beads in her hands, closed her eyes slightly, and recited scriptures softly.She has a peaceful face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a ruddy complexion.

Shangguan Fuxue and Shangguan Miaoyun were saying something witty next to them, their voices were low, but occasionally they laughed softly.Shangguan Fuxue didn't know what he was talking about, but Shangguan Miaoyun laughed out loud.

As soon as she laughed, she regretted it and quickly covered her mouth with her hands, but it was still too late. Everyone looked over, but their eyes were full of smiles, without any hint of reproach.

Seeing that the old lady also opened her eyes, the eldest lady looked over and said with a busy smile: "Look at this child, he is very eccentric all day long. Your aunt is reciting scriptures, and you can't hold back your voice, and you are not afraid of disturbing her." He hurriedly said to the old lady: "Third aunt, this child is still naive, don't blame her."

The old lady smiled, put the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table beside her, took a few sips of the tea that Mama Su handed her, and said, "It's okay, there are no outsiders here, there are not so many rules." She Looking at Shangguan Miaoyun with a smile, "What did you tell your third sister that you smiled so happily?"

Shangguan Miaoyun covered her lips and gave a soft laugh, then said: "It's not a big deal, it's all interesting about my daughter's family, I'm afraid if I tell my aunt, it's time to say that we are childish."

The old lady gave a grimace, "You're still childish if you don't say anything." She said, she glanced outside the door, and asked Mother Su, "It's already this hour, why hasn't the young lady come here yet?"

Su's mother hurriedly asked someone to go and have a look. The eldest lady and the second lady looked at each other, but smiled and said nothing.Shangguan Miaoge is probably ashamed. Before Shangguan Fuxue bumped her head, she could still gain a foothold in Beichen Kingdom by relying on her unassuming appearance.But now, Shangguan Fuxue is above her in everything.In terms of appearance, after today, she may no longer be the "No. [-] beauty in Beichen Kingdom"; in terms of talent, she has already fallen behind Shangguan Fuxue; in terms of status, even if Shangguan Fuxue has no fief and no worship Although she has the title of princess, there is no Shangguan Miaoge of any grade compared to her, but she is still far behind.

Thinking of this, Da Furen felt really proud.Before, she tried her best to curry favor with their mother and daughter, but they just put on a few perfunctory words in a pretentious manner.Now that the situation is reversed, all the good things are due to Shangguan Fuxue alone.Moreover, compared with Shangguan Miaoge's arrogant attitude, Shangguan Fuxue seemed more approachable.

The eldest lady looked at the second lady with a casual smile, and said: "This banquet is to celebrate the third lady who was conferred the title of princess by the emperor. She danced a dance and regarded herself as a great hero of our Shangguan family." No? I don’t even look at it, who should get the credit for it!”

The old lady couldn't help but frowned and said: "This child was not a person who had no sense of propriety before."

Shangguan Fuxue said with a smile: "Mother's condition has not improved, and there are often times when she doesn't recognize her. The elder sister is probably busy taking care of her, and she can't get away for a while. That's why it's delayed."

The eldest lady gave her a hypocritical look, and said: "You can understand your eldest sister, but your eldest sister may not be a considerate person. She has been spoiled by Mrs. Liang before, and everyone thinks that others should be left alone." She, even on an occasion like today, has no sense, let us elders wait for her here. "

"Don't blame her, she should be tired after staying in the palace to practice dancing these days." The old lady sighed, if she didn't see how well she performed at the birthday banquet today, she wouldn't have thought much about it. excused her.

"Old madam, if Miss San was not injured and let the child take advantage of it for nothing, would she have the rewards today? If she still can't figure it out at this time, why should we elders be here for her?" Say something nice?" Da Furen said.

"Auntie, grandma is right. When Eldest Sister started practicing Feitian Dance, there were not many days left before the birthday banquet. To perform as outstandingly as today, she must have put in a lot of effort in the past few days. Maybe she is really tired Besides, Eldest Sister is the eldest daughter of our General's Mansion, she should be the one to dance the Feitian Dance. There is no such thing as picking or not." Shangguan Fuxue said with a slight smile.

"But..." The eldest lady choked for a moment. She wanted to say more, but when she saw the look in the eyes of the second lady, she stopped abruptly, and turned around and said: "The third lady is really tolerant and considerate. The queen mother also looks at you with admiration."

"The empress dowager is gentle and generous, and it is our Shangguan family's fortune to appreciate Xue'er's deeds." The old lady laughed.

"What the old lady said is true." The second lady hurriedly answered, "My sister-in-law and I also deeply agree."

While talking, I heard the maid outside the door reporting: Miss is here.

Everyone was silent for a while, and their smiles were suppressed, only to see Shangguan Miaoge walking in, like a newly bloomed stamen, fresh and gorgeous, with a dark fragrance.For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed.

Everyone looked surprised, and looked up at Shangguan Miaoge in front of her. Her forehead was painted yellow, and the sapphires on the center of her eyebrows made her skin whiter and smoother.Her eyebrows were affectionate, Zhu Dan was in her mouth, and she sipped it slightly with a touch of shyness of a woman.In the eyes of everyone, she actually felt a little shy, she lowered her head slightly, and wiped the thin sweat on her cheeks with a handkerchief.Only then did everyone see that the bright red Dan Kou on her pale fingers was like a spot of bright red in the snow, which was extremely dazzling.

Only then did everyone regain their senses, and the Da Furen snorted and said, "It's no wonder she came so late, but she was busy dressing up. I didn't even care about the occasion, so she dressed up so gorgeously!"

Shangguan Miaoge was startled, she couldn't explain it now, she opened her mouth, but she still held back what she wanted to say, just smiled slightly, and came up to salute the elders one by one.Cai explained: "Auntie, the third sister won honor for our Shangguan family today, Ge'er thought, she should dress up to attend. So, she came out after dressing up carefully."

The eldest lady was still dissatisfied, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, this eldest lady really doesn't know how to measure. We all know that today's protagonist is the third lady, but she is dressed beautifully."

"Okay." The old lady called out suddenly, her voice was not high, but it was very important.The eldest lady was stunned when she heard the words.The old lady stretched out her hand to let Su's mother help her up, and said: "Today is a big day for our Shangguan family. Let's have a peaceful meal as a family and celebrate well. Let's save other matters for later."

Shangguan Jie let the two elder brothers go ahead, and when the three of them walked to the Da Furen's side, they couldn't help but give her a meaningful look, her eyes flinched, and she hurriedly bowed her head and took a step back.After the three of them walked to the front, the second lady came up, sighed, and said, "Sister-in-law, we only made an agreement in the morning. Everything needs to be discussed and thought through. Today is such a beautiful day, you have to haggle over every detail here." .You see, the old lady is not happy again."

The eldest lady covered her lips with a handkerchief in embarrassment, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Second brother and sister, what I said is the truth."

The second lady glanced at her lightly and said, "What my sister-in-law said is the truth. But today is such a beautiful day, the old lady wanted to celebrate quietly, but you kept saying that the eldest lady was wrong, even To tell the truth, she should not be happy in her heart."

The eldest lady's face became even more embarrassed, she turned her head slightly to look at Shangguan Fuxue and Shangguan Miaoge behind, and hurriedly pulled the second lady's clothes, motioning for her to talk while walking.The second lady then went to the main hall, and said secretly: "Sister-in-law, I have something to say, and I have to see the situation before I say it. The old lady is getting old, and she is already impatient to listen to this woman's bickering."

The eldest lady nodded, "What the second sibling said is true. Sister-in-law must pay attention in the future."

Not long after the whole family sat down, Nangong Lieyan also arrived.After saluting one by one, he lifted his robe and sat down, and the old lady smiled and asked: "My lord, I left you in the general's mansion on my own initiative, you won't blame me, will you?"

Nangong Lieyan smiled and said: "What did the old lady say? It's because my son got into the wrong carriage without knowing it, and I have to trouble the family to take care of it. I'm already very sorry, so how can I blame him?"

The old lady said casually again: "I see that you are very drunk, I wonder if you are better? If you still have a headache or stomach discomfort, let the servants cook sober soup, first use it for the son of the world, and then eat It doesn't matter."

Nangong Lieyan retreated and said: "Don't bother the old lady, my son's wine is already sober, so it's okay. Today is a family banquet at Shangguan's family, the guests are up to the host, and the host shouldn't be too troublesome."

The old lady had a few more polite words with him, and then the dinner began.

After drinking for three rounds, the old lady finally opened her mouth: "Master, I have something to discuss with you. I don't know if it's presumptuous?"

Nangong Lieyan's heart trembled, and he could probably guess what the old lady wanted to say, so he couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Fuxue, who frowned and winked at him.It probably means, anyway, remember what I told you this afternoon, just don’t agree!
Nangong Lieyan chuckled amusedly, then looked away, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, if you have anything to say, just say it, there is no need to be formal."

Then the old lady smiled and said: "Master, as you know, Xueer is not young. Strictly speaking, she has already reached the age to talk about marriage. The reason why it has been delayed until now must be the son's age. The master is also clear, so I won't go into details here. I see that the elder son and Xue'er seem to be in love with each other, and they are quite speculative. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to ask the elder son what he means. If the elder son really likes Xue'er , I will choose a time, go to the palace and talk to the queen mother, and let the emperor give you a marriage."

"This..." Nangong Lieyan looked at Shangguan Fuxue hesitantly.
